I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

"Ryuuji, this is Yugito."

"You don't need to tell me, Saki, I still remember his stupid face."

"Are you Yamagami Ryuji?"

While those 'underworld slaves' were immobilized, the three of them quickly fled the scene and hid in a convenience store in the town.

By the light of the emergency lights, Chenyue Yongto once again glanced up and down at the young man with blond hair, necklace and earrings.

Is this still the neighbor's friend in his memory?

"You are not black-haired"

"Dyeed!"

"I remember your home is a temple."

"Is there a rule that monks cannot wear necklaces and earrings?"

To be, or not to be, that is the question.

Such a confident answer from the other party left Chen Yue Yongto speechless.

Presumably even the ancient monks never considered that future generations would dye their hair and wear big gold chains, right?

"Saki, please pay attention to what's going on outside first."

"I have something to talk about with this kid."

The blond boy named "Yamagami Ryuuji" with a slicked back spoke in a bad tone, like a real "bad". He first told the girl Saki to guard the door, and then put his arm around Tatsuki Yuuto's shoulders.

"Come here, let's talk."

It totally looks like a bad kidnapper.

Bang!

When they reached the toilet of the convenience store, Ryuuji Yamagami pushed hard, causing Tatsuki Yuuto to hit the wall.

"Who asked you to come back?"

"You've been away for ten years, why are you coming back now?"

? !

"Are you really the mountain god Ryuuji?"

Chen YueYuoRen's back hit the wall and was numb, but for him, he had not witnessed his childhood friend at all, and the 'earth-shaking' change in front of him was even more surprising.

In his memory, Yamagami Ryuuji was the son of the abbot of the temple in their small town. He had been a good old man with the character of 'Amitabha, please don't get angry and love each other' since he was a child. Why did he become a standard delinquent now?

"nonsense,"

The blond boy with a slender shoulder lowered his voice and grabbed Yugi Tatsuki's collar fiercely.

"Don't answer questions with questions, I'm asking you!"

"My home is gone,"

?

"After leaving here, my family settled down in Kyoto City. You should also know, right? The great Onmyoji just took over Kyoto."

After hearing the explanation, his ferocious aura was released, and the bad-looking Yamagami Ryuji let go of Tatsuki Yuuto's collar.

"Feel sorry,"

"But, you guys came back at the wrong time."

Rubbing his golden hair irritably, Yamagami Ryuji thought of another question.

"Also, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"

"To find my father,"

"Here's the thing."

Chen YueYongRen did not hide anything and told the reason for this trip.

"Damn it!"

He cursed in a low voice,

Yamagami Ryuji looked even more anxious.

"Then you shouldn't involve Saki. Forget it, it's too late to say anything now, you guys should go home quickly!"

"But my father——"

Raising his hand to roughly interrupt Tatsuki Yuuto's words, Yamagami Ryuuji took a deep breath.

"Your father is dead!"

"Go home right away, and then take the tram out of here early tomorrow morning."

"This is your last chance. Don't have anything to do with Saki anymore. Just think of it as..."

"for what?"

A sudden sound interrupted the 'communication' between the two boys.

Saki, who was wearing a side ponytail, appeared next to him. At some point, he quietly appeared at the door of the toilet, just in time to see the scene of Yamagami Ryuuji 'threatening' Tatsuki Yugito.

"Ah, just for love and justice?"

Facing the probing gaze of the girl Saki, the hunched-over 'bad' looked embarrassed.

"Forget it if Yongto doesn't know about this guy, Saki, why are you doing such nonsense? Don't you know how dangerous the town is at night?"

Skipping the topic abruptly, the boy named 'Yamagami Ryuji' pointed outside.

"If I hadn't happened to pass by, you would have been doomed."

Did he really just happen to be passing by?

Yugito Tatsuki who was leaning against the wall was not an idiot;

According to Saki, the entire town will enter a state of 'silence' as soon as the bell rings.

Under such circumstances, it was unbelievable that he and Saki went out at the risk of being besieged by the 'underworld slaves': but the mountain god Ryuuji passed by at this time, which was not normal no matter how you thought about it.

But he didn't say it out loud. On the one hand, they were childhood friends who hadn't seen each other in ten years. On the other hand, Tatsuki Yongto's eyes fell on the girl with side ponytail: the reason why Ryuji appeared here was not difficult to guess.

".Go back, no!"

Upon hearing Yamagami Ryuji's proposal, Saki immediately objected.

"The whereabouts of Yongto's father are unknown, and we still have to look for him."

"you--"

He was so angry at the girl's words that he looked up at the ceiling, but Yamagami Ryuuji also understood that this was Saki's character.

After all, they are good friends who have lived together for more than ten years.

"All right,"

Gritting his teeth, the bad-looking Yamagami Ryuji also took the risk.

"How are you going to find someone?"

"If the plan is reasonable, I will help you once."

————

After a few minutes,

There was one more person in the team moving forward in the town under the moonlight and street lights.

"Ryuji, your move is so powerful."

With the addition of this young man who was full of bad vibes but was actually a 'monk', the speed of the three of them's progress increased sharply.

As an extraordinary 'monk' like him, he doesn't need to go around specially when encountering 'underworld slaves'; he only needs to use the 'Fudo Mingwang Mantra' to immobilize these 'underworld slaves' and pass through easily.

"How come I didn't know you had extraordinary powers?"

Regarding the girl Saki's question, the blond and slicked-back Yamagami Ryuji patiently explained:

"Some time ago, I went to Mount Koya to listen to Master Zhixiong's lecture on Buddhism. After I came back and practiced it a few times, I felt a vague 'magic power' in my body."

As the sacred tree is planted for longer and longer, people with good talents can even become extraordinary themselves in battle.

After monk Zhixiong obtained the Buddhist practice method from the 'Three Cobalt Pestle', he spread it throughout the island country.

Nowadays, the threshold of Rakano Esoteric Buddhism is almost broken by a large number of monks from temples.

You know, there are as many as 330,000 monks in the island country!

Although compared to penance, 'extraordinary potion' is faster.

But having skills is always faster than relying solely on breakthroughs between life and death: this is the case with Yamagami Ryuuji. With the Buddhist 'method of practice', he has stepped into the ranks of extraordinary people, even though he is the weakest 'weak dog' Level, and it's also a 'spell-type' transcendent.

"The 'Fudo Myooh Mantra' can suppress all evil spirits. Unfortunately, my cultivation is not enough, so I can only immobilize them."

Yamagami Ryuji explained as he led the two of them through the street.

"I know where you are going,"

"Be mentally prepared."

In the eyes of Yamagami Ryuuji, Tatsuki Yuuto's father is already a dead man.

They simply don't know how that person has changed in the past ten years, no, in the past few months.

"careful!"

Just as they were moving forward unimpeded, Yuto Tatsuki suddenly rushed forward and knocked away the preoccupied Yamagami Ryuuji.

Clang! !

The harsh metal collision broke the tranquility of the town and echoed in the night sky!

"Who are you?"

The mountain god Ryuji who was knocked away and staggered turned around and saw a man wearing a black robe and a white mask holding down a long stick in his hand.

The person being pinned down by the long stick was none other than Yugi Tatsuki, who was kneeling on one knee while raising the metal bat.

If he hadn't bumped into him just now, it would have been Mountain God Ryuuji's turn to use his skull:

Go test the strength of the opponent's stick!

Judging from the expression on Tatsuki Yūto’s gritted teeth, it’s definitely not as simple as ‘just a package’.

Damn, are these guys finally doing it?

"Yugo-?!"

"Don't move,"

A katana with cold light stretched out from behind and was placed in front of Saki's neck, making her whole body stiff.

"Who are we, hehehe~~~"

The man holding the long stick seemed to have heard something interesting and laughed.

"Yamagami Ryuji, aren't you secretly investigating us?"

"Why, now that we are showing up openly, do we have to pretend not to know?"

Chance,

While the black-robed man was speaking, the suppressed Tatsuyuki Yuto suddenly turned sideways, letting the opponent's long stick slide over the metal baseball and hit the ground with a bang.

At the same time, Chenyue Yuto rolled to the side and stood up.

"Are you extraordinary criminals?"

"Hey hey hey, so what?"

Carrying the long stick in his hand on his shoulder, the masked man in black robe looked confident.

"Are you going to call the police, or are you going to call for help? Let me help you -"

"Child, shut up."

Another masked man in black robe who held Saki hostage with a long knife spoke, and the low female voice was full of coldness, which made the man holding the long stick stunned.

"Huh, you're just..."

Although his tone was unpleasant, the man with the stick who was called a 'crazy' man still kept his mouth shut.

"You should not come back, and you should not delve into the secrets of this town."

The masked man in black robe behind Saki continued coldly,

"Now, come with us."

what to do?

Chen YueYongRen glanced at the Mountain God Ryuuji, hoping that his childhood friend would create another miracle, but the other party had already raised his palms to recite a spell, and the effect was:

"Is this the Fudo Myooh Mantra?"

The masked man in black robe holding a long stick moved his shoulders.

"It feels like there are hundreds of kilograms of extra weight on my body, but that's it-"

It's over,

For a moment, despair flashed through the hearts of the two teenagers.

The mountain god Ryuuji is able to do such a move, not because the 'Fudo Myooh Mantra' is not strong, but because his magic power is too weak.

As for Chen Yue Yuuto, he is an ordinary person. Faced with these two mysterious people who are not 'ordinary' in any way, what else can he do besides being captured?

Sudden,

Tatsuki Yuto's ankles felt cold.

Before he could react, a cold killing intent rushed into his head.

"kill!"

Amidst the roar, Chenyue Yongto, whose eyes suddenly turned red, suddenly rushed towards the masked black-robed man holding a long stick. The metal club in his hand swept away, causing a sharp roar!

? ? ?

Clang————

This time, the sound of metal collision could be described as resounding through the sky.

"You bastard, are you also a transcendent?!"

Stumbling backwards, the man in black robe with long stick mask who was repelled asked in horror.

What answered him was the metal bat roaring towards him again! If this stick were struck firmly, it would be enough to smash an ordinary person into a puddle of mud.

brush,

A long knife stretched out from the side, wrapping it around and pressing it down.

boom!

The metal bat, whose trajectory was forcibly changed, hit the street heavily; a basin-sized dent was formed on the spot amid the flying dirt and rocks.

The long-stick black-robed man who escaped the disaster had his eyebrows twitching wildly under his mask.

This strength is probably at the level of a ‘strong dog’!

This shouldn’t be the case. Could it be that all the students from Kyoto are extraordinary?

“Go,”

The black-robed man holding a long knife passed by, walking neatly.

Without time to think about it, the long-stick black-robed man, who was only at the ‘dog’ level, immediately turned around and ran, waving his hand at the same time.

“Stop him!”

“Roar~~”

“Roar~~”

The ‘death slaves’ dressed like dead people,

who looked like corpses, surrounded him from all directions.

Puff,

The red-eyed Tatsuki Yuto just swung the metal bat and cut the neck of the ‘death slave’ in front.

However, this was not enough to stop these "death slaves". They had no fear at all, and only a little instinct remained. They continued to move forward with firm steps until they were suddenly knocked down by the metal baseball bat!

The boy who rushed into the group of "death slaves" was like a madman. The baseball bat caused his hands to be broken, his head to fly, his chest to be torn, and his waist to be broken.

"Is this Yuto?!"

"I don't know either."

Seeing their childhood friend "showing great power", Yamagami Ryuji and Saki were stunned.
